A system for drying an electrode includes a drying unit which dries an electrode which is moving on a transfer line; a thermal imaging camera which photographs a surface of the electrode in real time; a calculation unit which stores an image taken by the thermal imaging camera, and generates temperature distribution data in a width direction of the electrode from the image; and an output unit which outputs the image and the temperature distribution data in a width direction of the electrode.

A method for drying a component interior of a component can be used in a lithographic process chain. The method includes a first drying step, in which simultaneously heated air is admitted into a component interior through an inlet, and the heated air is sucked out of the component interior through an outlet. The method also includes a succeeding second drying step, in which the inlet for the heated air is closed and the air is sucked out of the component interior, resulting in a reduced pressure is generated in the component interior.

An apparatus for drying a coated electrode includes a perforated plate nozzle located above a transfer path for the coated electrode. A duct is provided to connect to an area of the perforated plate nozzle that does not face the coated electrode among areas of the perforated plate nozzle. The duct may supply hot air flowing outside opposite ends of the coated electrode to a lower portion of the coated electrode.

A drying device includes a conveying unit, a hot air blowing unit, a passage forming unit, and an adjusting unit. The conveying unit conveys a medium to which a liquid is discharged from a discharging head. The hot air blowing unit includes a blowing unit that blows air, and a heating unit that heats air. The passage forming unit forms, between the hot air blowing unit and a region on a conveying unit conveyance path, a circulation path through which air blown from the hot air blowing unit is circulated. The adjusting unit adjusts a ratio between inside air circulating through the circulation path and outside air that is introduced into the circulation path. If a temperature increase condition is established, the adjusting unit increases a ratio of the inside air. If a temperature decrease condition is established, the adjusting unit increases a ratio of the outside air.

A system (27) arranged to dry a filament (5) used in additive manufacture, the system (27) comprising: a first heater (55) arranged to heat air; a tubing section (29) having a wall (31) defining an enclosed passage (33), the passage (33) arranged to convey a filament (5), the tubing section (29) having an air inlet (51) for providing heated air from the first heater (55) into the passage (33); and a second heater (59) arranged around along at least part of the tubing section (29), in order to further heat filament (5) within the passage (33).

A drying apparatus can include a wet end portion, a dry end portion, and a drying chamber. The wet end portion can include a spray apparatus configured to apply a product puree to a belt, and the dry end portion can include a knife portion configured to remove a dry product from the belt. The drying chamber can extend between the wet end portion and the dry end portion and can include one or more table sections. Each table section can include a basin portion and one or more temperature control elements. The drying chamber can further include an air inlet and an air outlet such that air can flow through the drying chamber in a direction opposite a direction of the belt.

A system for drying an electrode includes: an oven which applies hot air and radiant heat to an electrode sheet; and a controller which receives information on drying standby time, and controls an amount of heat supplied into the oven. Herein, the controller controls to supply a reduced amount of heat to the oven during an initial drying time right after the supply of the electrode sheet after the drying standby time.

A spray dryer arrangement comprising a spray dryer device (1), a heat pump (14) and a dehumidifier device (24), a primary liquid circuit (20) and a secondary liquid circuit (22). The spray dryer arrangement comprises a bypass conduit (66) provided in the secondary liquid circuit for bypassing a second heat exchanger (23), and a controllable valve (34) for controlling a flow of secondary liquid into the bypass conduit (66) and to the second heat exchanger (23) respectively, a temperature sensor (35) for measuring the temperature of the secondary liquid in the secondary liquid circuit (22), and a control unit (36) configured to control the controllable valve (34) on basis of input from the temperature sensor (35), and configured to thereby regulate the temperature of the secondary liquid in the secondary circuit (22) to be within a predetermined temperature range.
